Nigerian rapper Olamide has recorded a major rise on Spotify Nigeria’s daily chart as his latest single, “Burukutu,” climbed 151 places to reach No. 47 on October 23, 2026. The impressive jump made it the chart’s biggest gainer for the day, drawing attention to the song just days after its release.

Released on October 20, “Burukutu” showcases Olamide’s signature street-inspired sound, combining Yoruba expressions with lively rhythms and celebratory themes. The track arrived alongside a music video directed by TG Omori, adding a visual element to the release.

The song serves as the lead single from Olamide’s forthcoming album, “Time and Space”, scheduled for release on November 16, 2026. The project marks another chapter in the YBNL boss’s career as he continues to deliver new music after years of shaping Nigeria’s hip-hop and Afrobeats scenes.

According to Spotify chart data for October 23, “Burukutu” recorded approximately 81,000 streams, an increase of nearly 47,000 from the previous day. The figures highlight the track’s early momentum as listeners respond to Olamide’s latest release.

With “Burukutu” gaining ground, attention now turns to whether the single can climb further ahead of the album’s arrival. Olamide is also preparing for his scheduled headline concert at London’s O2 Arena on March 25, 2027, adding to an eventful period for the veteran artiste.
